Best to forget about that interview and focus on future ones. Frontend engineering doesn't mean you can ignore performance issues in your programs. Binary trees are a very useful data structure to know in general. Ordered collections i

Each letter is given a weight and it's multiplied by the length of the word it's part of to get its effective weight. Sum it up for all letters and you get the final score. Here, it seems like two 10 letter words can be formed usi

You say it's a superset of C that compiles to C. But why does your example with main() look like Python? It's certainly not valid C code.

I wake up early at 4AM, make a cup of coffee for myself, play 15 min of chess and study Spanish for another 15-20 min. This routine gets me ready to do intellectually intensive work like reading a hard technical book.

Same exact thing happened to me at Microsoft during the system design interview round. Interviewer wouldn't just let me explain and kept on arguing about a relatively minor issue and wouldn't let me proceed and in the end failed m

I noticed I spend too much time reading wikipedia articles, jumping from one to another, so I built a chrome extension to limit that browsing time to a few minutes per day.

I've been making a Django app for over a week because I wanted to learn doing web dev. I hope to finish it another 2-3 weeks. So far, it's been a intimidating and yet fantastic experience learning about django, http, html dom, js,

Lol at the third category - they're at the wrong jobs(for them), perhaps they need to do something on their own, figuring things out themselves!

To me, it looks like you're just having problems with algorithm interviews. I have a solution for you and it's much more effective than textbooks - go to websites like www.spoj.com, projecteuler.net, topcoder.com and many other si

I mostly write C++ code on Linux systems. I use ddd for interactive debugging in bigger projects. For throwaway code(C++ & Python), I just use print statements.

For 5), 89 modulo 77 is 12 so we just solve for the least m such that (m + 3) * (m + 4) (= m m + 7 m + 12) is divisible by 77. Both 73 and 74 clearly satisfy the condition, but 18 + 3 = 21 divisible by 7 and 18 + 4 = 22 divisible by 11 is t

As an Indian I often wonder, the real question is not why India is so corrupt(esp. at the lower levels of bureaucracy), rather how come certain countries have zero corruption at those levels? Perhaps I'm too pessimistic about human nat

Care to explain a little? Did your friend mean that talented engineers like working on novel problems and companies facing hard problems are thus more attractive?

As far as your work is concerned, if you believe your code or design choices are valid, don't accept their corrections or suggestions so easily. Explain your choices and listen to them seriously. Let THEM convince you why you're i

Availability of an interpreter has been one of the major advantages of programming in dynamic languages. With languages like Haskell, Scala coming with first class interpreters, this advantage is being lost to a certain extent. I think it s
